note 101549 rejected from function.openssl-error-string by danbrown

Note Submitter: wilhelm dot moser at demos dot at ---- it is really a pity - we lack documentation on php-openssl: for me a script seems to work as supposed but openssl_error_string moans about: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file error:0E064002:configuration file routines:CONF_load:system lib error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value I mean OK I can and have to live with that - ignoring it as long as the script does what it is supposed to. But the problem is: due to lack of documentation on php - openssl people are tapping in the openssl_error_string dealing with errors that are not of concern to them. IMPORTANT THINGS: provide $configargs within configargs set config to your_path_to/openssl.cnf typecast these arguments and make sure they are integer values private_key_bits = (int)1024; private_key_type = (int)OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA; Be aware that an empty passphrase is not just an empty string but has to be NULL !!!
